Does anyone know anything about monopoly without a board?
Just metal pieces, cards and money.
I've picked one up from a local antiques shop.
Thoughts? Info? All warmly received.

...Darrow decided to stay the course and ordered 5900 sets from Patterson and White. Retailers demanded a change on these sets though. The large white box took up too much shelf space and they wanted something smaller. Darrow obliged and the 5900 sets were put into a very small black box with a separate board. This is now known as the Darrow Black Box edition.

I'm a little fuzzy in my memory but I was thinking this set was a accessories packing/organization box that was a box-in-the-box that housed the playing board.

You can see the Black Box edition at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_board_game_Monop...
